what is the most beautiful english word

[Sensuikan San]

Mellifluous ... it sounds just like its meaning. (...'sweet' ... 'smooth' ... 'flowing' etc. etc. ...)

.... especially when spoken by James Earl Jones .. !

(...Apologies to the writers of an episode of the David Letterman Show ... many aeons ago ! - but I do, sincerely agree with them!)

[CryogeniC]

I gotta go with "Ethereal" cuz its so surreal and fantasy-like

 

[lastmagi]

I'm with cryogenic. Ethereal is a beautiful one. And I guess its semi-lookalike, ephemeral, too. Ah, how fleeting is beauty...

 

[Kinsao]

I just got a new top word:

roofrack

I have no idea why I like it.

I also like: delinquent. It sounds so... peaceful, somehow... like a little bubbling stream... so unlike its meaning!

 

[Takakoo]

Effervescent

 

[FAM]

To me one of the most beautiful words are
desire
passion
peace
naked
feel

 

[Sensuikan San]

I just got a new top word:

roofrack

I have no idea why I like it.

Neither have I!

But, you can have fun with words, can't you?

Try ....

"Rooofrack"

"Roofrack"

I do it all the time with "concrete"!

All the best,

Obscure - Deficient in light, dark, Out of sight, hidden, Not readily noticed or seen

It's one of the first english words I learned and I love those meanings of it.

 

[sadakoyamamura]

I got a new word too.

Wraith

Sounds nice because of the th at the end and yet it means (from Wikipedia) an apparition of a person who is still alive, seen as an omen that the person is about to die.

 

[Genecks]

Good fun words to describe something:

1. eccentric
2. intriguing
3. interesting
4. speculative.

I think my favorite word in the English language would have to be, maybe.

My recent favorite quote of mine: i'm going to become an omnipotent megalomaniac elitest

 

[Kinsao]

Sensuikan-san: I'm glad someone understands me! *feels all understood*

Anjusan: cool! I'd never even heard of that word. And even better... it has an X in it. I love the letter X!

I think my favorite word in the English language would have to be, maybe.

Aha, so you go by meaning rather than sound? Hey that gives me an idea for 'learning Japanese' question I want to know...

I also rather like the phrase 'narcissistic misogynist'.
